This killer closes his ears when doesn't want to relive his carnage. What ??? He needs to see and hear everything he did to these students.. Tie his hands he has no rights at this point. He does not get to hide.
Probably because PTSD will never be cured. It can be managed. I've lived with it for almost 51 years, and if the police hadn't killed my stepdad and we had our day in court, I'd willingly testify. Now, part of my therapy is watering the imaginary flowers on his grave for the last 20 years on the anniversary of when he almost murdered our whole family.
It is HEALTHY Nicole ...If it was not their Parents and Psychologists and Detectives and Judge would not have allowed it...the more you speak about a Traumatic Event the better.....every time you talk about it the pain lessens a bit...it is their Chance to tell THEIR STORY
@@raintree3383 I disagree. It’s not healthy with the mass murderer in the same room looking at you. Nobody wants to see his squirrely face anymore. It’s stressful for some people to talk in public with an audience so their ptsd plus those two things aren’t healthy. Testifying isn’t for health reasons. It’s to get the truth of the story out there. It’s a necessary evil. It’s not fun but they all know they have to do it because the shooter needs to be punished as fit. They’re all adults now, as it’s been four years. Sone have finished university. I’m sure they want justice more than they want to hide off the stand.
@@marquavis6630 cops would’ve. They were all questioned, information taken, recorded. You think they just questioned and didn’t record their answers? Also, you think recorded interrogations can stand in lieu of testimony in court? Come on. This is real life not some cartoon
@@thehoneyeffect don’t damn all the officers at Uvalde - especially the ones who arrived after the shooting had stopped. A lot of blame can be laid squarely at the feet of the chief who had initial command of the scene by virtue of being the first on scene, and by, you know, _being the chief_ and who tried to sidestep responsibility by saying that he didn’t know who was in command.
I’m grateful that all the law enforcement knew the names of every victim they encountered, as there were a lot. I know cops sometimes don’t do their jobs well, but times like this you realize there are lots of good ones and their jobs are very difficult at times.
Even though this occurred 4 years ago, this has to be so difficult for the families and their losses. For me, it is a very painful and personal reminder of the Sandy Hook shooting on 12/14/2012 Its been a decade ago and yet every time one of these tragedy's occur, its a bitter reminder of all these senseless and very, tragic losses.
The way jaimes dad calmly broke when they spoke about her. Just gut wrenching. I’m not pro death penalty but I believe there’s no other punishment that would match the crime
This is so so so macabre ! Life isn’t enough! Sitting there forever isn’t enough, do you know how Prison is? Contact visits, commissary, jobs, community, people can get anything in there phones. Drugs, food trust me life isn’t good only the DP!!
When Nicholas first entered the school building and verbally warned a student what was about to go down... if this interaction could've perhaps spared this young boy's life, then you could seemingly attribute that act on Nick's part as him more so wanting to make a statement of some sort by this mass shooting... rather than being motivated by the pleasure of terrorizing. And this also in turn could reflect his mental health more so in proportion to being addicted to cruelty.
Just so everyone is aware: I’m studying law to become a lawyer and one of the questions that comes up often is what one should do when defending a client who they know is guilty? The answer is: you have to do your job. It is their job as state lawyers to defend their client. Even if they have committed the worst crimes imaginable. You can tell the killers defense team is disconnected from him because they do not want to defend him and they came up with a BS motion for appeal which was written half-assed, knowing that the judge wouldn’t go for it because it lacked substance and common sense. They didn’t even care to get up and speak for their client let alone speak loudly and clearly into the mic. This is a prime example, of how the killers defense team, knows that he is guilty, yet they are forced to do their job by painting a picture of defense of their client. They have to provide documented evidence that they have done the research into the facts and evidence of the case along with the legalities of it to prove their clients’ defense or they could lose their license to practice. That’s why the killers legal team looks like a joke. Because they are aware of his crimes and all the evidence points to him as the killer. They are not “pushing” for life in prison. They are stalling by requesting life in prison so the judge can continue hearing evidence and seeing the reactions of the victims families, that this will only strengthen the judge’s decision to give him the death sentence.
Seriously?! Do you actually think the victims’ families want to see their deceased loved ones photos, from the crime scene, shown all over a court screen and so the public can also see them on RUclips?! Would you want to see your child’s photos from a crime scene, and everyone else to see them too? Get some sensitivity! You’re a sicko! 😖
i see where you're coming from but with the amount of school shootings we already go through with no efficient laws made or protections put in place, i don't think subjecting people to senseless gore will help. plus it just seems incredibly disrespectful.
@@user-hx7mi7ml8u whoooa keyboard warrior !! His devastation of these lives needs to be public to prevent u gun loving yanks from keeping your guns ! Wake up peanut
He’s already plead guilty to 17 counts of first degree murder,give this guy death penalty and call it a day.what more do they need.this guy is careless,heartless ,cold.this stuff is upsetting if your any kind of person
This is horrific!!! He has pleaded guilty...you already know all that he has done.!! This needs to STOP!!! Students....parents...police officers...survivor's..teachers...stop putting these people through this again!! Cant imagine the mental trauma this is causing!!! Omg....how absolutely CRUEL!!!!!!
While I 100% agree this must be extremely distressing for those present for this trial, I do believe that many of them want to watch him face this and face them in court. My hope is that those who wish to confront him during the impact statements finally get that chance! RIP to all of the victims of this senseless massacre 🤍
It will give them the ability to address him directly in their victim impact statements. That could very well be incredibly important to them to have that ability
I would like him to get whichever one he doesn't want. If he wants the death penalty I want him to have life in prison if he wants life in prison I want him to have the death penalty.
Why is the entire Court TV team unusually knowledgeable, have excellent and unique fact telling skills, are likable, and have similar behavior except for this guy. He’s flubbering around, blathers on, and literally doesn’t make sense. I would love to see someone more appropriate take his place.
This killer closes his ears when doesn't want to relive his carnage. What ??? He needs to see and hear everything he did to these students.. Tie his hands he has no rights at this point. He does not get to hide.
Hope he gets the death penalty.
Please stop pointing the camera on the greiveing parents,must be even worse for them knowing the camera is pointed at them while they greive.
I agree. No respect at all.
Ditto that. Every channel covering this is doing the same. Makes them degenerates no better than this scumbag.
their intent is on the stand, the camera is the furthest thing when the witness and lawyer are talking.
Having these kids relive this is beyond me.. why didn’t they just record them when it first happened instead of continuing the ptsd?

Why did he target the freshman building? He was 19 at the time, those kids never did anything to him.
I hope the court gives all jurors some direction to outside help with processing all the testimony, pictures, and audio they will endure.
They do have post trial assistance if requested.
If he confessed and agrees to the death penalty why do they have to do this trial?
To decide the penalty
It's not for him to decide, by law. It was proffered to him to have Judge decide, or a jury. He chose jury.
He doesn’t want death penalty
@@16MedicRNand 100% he didn't want the death penalty because if he had chosen the judge, she would have sentenced him to death
These Police Officers did the right thing that day. Unlike the Uvalde Officers.
Hmm, I heard they took a while to get into the school in this shooting too, not as bad as they were at Uvalde though
@@thehoneyeffect Oh really. I don't know the details.

@@valerierodger7700 I didn't know that.
Regular killers get life, for one person he killed many children while they were at school, the DP was made for cases like this

Its cases like this that makes my anxiety shoot to the moon during school days. Its horrible to know there are people capable of such evil.
@@stephanieleach7736 your right about that! So much evil and hate in the world today. Scary but very sad. Too many lose their lives so tragically.

So does he actually has poor quality lawyers? By standards of legal representation? It seems that way to me from what you wrote.
This is only the 1st phase of witnesses,, the next phase will be all about N.C.... Court TV said this will take months !
How depressing
I doubt his defence team wants his death penalty
Generally against the death penalty but for mass murder or horrendous crime no issues at all. What do you do with a bad animal?
A dog that bites gets put down. I believe people use ADHD to much as a excuse.
So Disturbing and very sad!! 😥😭 Prayers for all of the victims families!! 🙏😥🙏😥🙏
I wish people would take their covid coughs outside of the courtroom.
I wish you’d shut up and quit being a democrat/chinacrat propaganda pusher.
Why no crime photos shown ? It sanitizes the whole shooting we need the public to see what he did to prevent it happening again???
Seriously?! Do you actually think the victims’ families want to see their deceased loved ones photos, from the crime scene, shown all over a court screen and so the public can also see them on RUclips?!

Agree 100%.
@Nancy Munroe
It’s called due process. He’s getting the death penalty. It has to be done
I totally agree, but they have to give him all his legal rights, WHICH IS A WASTE OF MONEY! But due process is a must so whatever they decide sticks.

The judge should save time and overrule every objection.
For the love of God.
She was doing her job, hearing the other side's argument. That's what a good, just, judge does
It seems like the death penalty is like a guideline,cases get commuted to life.
He will get life in prison, I really don't think he will get the death penalty, that would be to easy for him.
It is Florida. Ted Bundy was sentenced to death and didnt get charged with as many murders.
I would like him to get whichever one he doesn't want. If he wants the death penalty I want him to have life in prison if he wants life in prison I want him to have the death penalty.
It cud take 50 yrs
I'm done.
That judge is the most womanly sounding woman I've ever heard.
And the hottest!
Quit putting kids on psychotropic drugs!
Gosh will take months
